It was the secondyear of my placement and I was working under the supervisor. Eliza was a 75-year-old lady whowas suffering from mental illness and she also has dementia, aggression and short-term memoryloss problem. Eliza was facing difficulty because she was experiencing the symptoms such asdelusions and hallucinations. According to the Mental act she was required to be admitted in thehospital so that treatment can be provided to her on right time. It became vital to admit her sothat other people do not get harm by her actions because of her mental problem (Flower andet.al., 2016). Further, she was suffering from mental health problem so she was admitted intopsychiatric ward where treatment was provided to her under supervision of different health careprofessionals. At the time of admitting Eliza it has been noticed that she refused to take treatment fromthe nurses. She was also facing problems since last one year because of her venous leg ulcers inher left leg because she refused to take treatment. She had not taken treatment and precautiondue to this reason her wound got infected and she was unable to make any movement in leg.After admitting, her wound was assessed by me and my supervisor. Me and my mentor providedher treatment and it was painful but effective in recovering infection. At the ward round thedoctor wanted to reassess Eliza’s wound and he suggested that old dressing need to be removedbecause patient was suffering from pain. Further Health care professional suggested that woundshould be regularly reviewed and treated well (Tesh and Kautz, 2017). My mentor suggested meto spend time with Eliza and communicate with her which could help in making goodrelationship with her. I explained the old lady what was happening with her and why she wasclosely supervised by doctors. I observed her facial expressions which showed that she was quiteuncomfortable and depressed. For making her comfortable I made her informed about treatmentwhich she will receive and the process of her wound healing. Further, I also told her, importanceof medication, nursing and intervention. It is important to communicate all these things to thepatient so that she does not get depressed or refuse from taking treatment (Lin, and et.al., 2016).It is also my responsibility to listen to the patient and respond to their queries. Through strongcommunication I made good relations with Eliza so she requested me to do her dressing instead2
